Join us in store as we celebrate the release of Knucklehead, a collection of poems by Tony Keith Jr.

Tony Keith Jr is a Black American gay poet, spoken word artist, and hip-hop educational leader from Washington D.C. He is the author of a memoir in verse How the Boogeyman Became a Poet. Keith's writing have appeared the International Journal of Critical Media Literacy, the Journal of Black Masculinity, and many others.

Knucklehead is a love letter to Black boys and men, who Keith affectionately calls "knuckleheads." This collection of poetry affirms the many forms of Black masculinity.
